She was there on our big day and kept everything running smoothly, plus our son just loved her! She really went above and beyond to make our day special and we are forever thankful.

Drees was the best decision we made about our wedding day! Scott and his team were incredible and made our day literally perfect. From the beginning they were great at communication, and always answering my questions leading up to the big day. Drees is a well oiled machine that had a drink in our hand as soon as we were up the aisle and took such good care of our parents and bridal party as well. You also can’t review Drees without mentioning the breathtaking view of Cincinnati! Our guests loved it so much- we unintentionally provided them an outdoor photobooth :) we loved Drees and everyone there and would choose it over and over again!!!

We were married at Hotel Covington in September 2024 and it was hands down one of the best decisions we have ever made. We knew we wanted a fully outdoor wedding with food and drink provided on-site, and HC provided exactly that. I could go on forever about how wonderful every single person was – Ashley was amazing getting us started with HC, then seamlessly handed us over to Riley who was with us until the day of the wedding. The staff was attentive to our needs, and we were so bummed when the night was over. All our guests (including our sweet doggie) felt incredibly welcome. We have officially made it a point to visit Hotel Covington every few months for drinks, and plan to stay there again for our anniversary. Thank you to the entire team at HC : )

We loved The Spot! We had our wedding reception there in August. We has 185 guests attend, and the space was perfect size for it! The dance floor is huge, and you can have up to two bars including one big one! The location is perfect - we had out of town guests stay in hotels one block away and a lot of people walked to The Banks bars after the reception! Another great aspect is they let you bring in your own catering/alcohol, which gives a lot of flexibility (and isn’t as hard as you’d think to coordinate).

I cannot say enough good things about this space! We hosted our rehearsal dinner there and it was perfect for people to all gather and mingle the night before. On the wedding day used the incredible bridal suites and venue. The venue comfortably fit our 90 wedding guests. The bridal suites are the perfect place for pictures with all the natural lighting, mirrors, refrigerator, open floor plan for bridesmaids to hang, and so convenient for storing items for the wedding that day. Our getting ready time was so easy and special with everyone there! The space itself is stunning and the old charm with modern features is exactly what we wanted. Being able to bring in our own caterers and alcohol was everything and let us stay on budget and make the evening exactly how we wanted. The team was super easy to work with and made the day perfect. I cannot recommend Headquarters enough!

We hosted our wedding at the Taylor Mansion in Newport, KY, and stayed there with 11 guests over three nights—it was truly the perfect venue and home for such a special occasion. The mansion itself is a stunning historic property built in 1837, and staying there felt like stepping into a piece of history. Yet, it’s fully updated with modern amenities that made our stay incredibly comfortable. The kitchen is spacious and well-equipped, ideal for cooking for a large group, and the generous counter space made buffet-style meals easy to serve. The living areas are cozy and inviting, and the bathrooms are absolutely luxurious—especially the main bedroom’s shower with its multiple jets, which felt like a spa experience. There was plenty of room for all our guests to spread out and relax, and the Taylor Mansion team was incredibly responsive and helpful. When we had a minor issue with the disposal, they had someone out the next morning to fix it—no stress at all. As a wedding venue, the Taylor Mansion exceeded every expectation. Their team handled all the setup, including table layout and chair selection, and even brought in a cleaner before the event to ensure everything was perfect. They were available throughout the day for any questions or last-minute needs, which gave us peace of mind to truly enjoy the celebration. We held our ceremony on the first-floor balcony, which offered beautiful views and a romantic atmosphere. The old office was transformed into our dance floor, and the built-in sound system made it easy to play our Spotify playlist for the ceremony, dinner, and dancing. One of the standout features was the vintage wooden bar with a brass foot rail—it added so much character to the reception space. We chose Kate Catering, one of their preferred vendors, and the food was absolutely phenomenal. Their staff was professional, friendly, and helped elevate the entire experience. Whether you're looking for a unique and elegant wedding venue or a place to host a memorable group stay, Taylor Mansion is a true gem. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Our wedding was December 12, 2020, right in the middle of COVID curveballs. Two weeks out we had to slash our guest list to 25 people and leave our original venue when they couldn’t adapt. Belknap Event Center stepped in and instantly calmed the chaos. The space in Prospect, KY is gorgeous; warm wood cozy lighting, and flexible enough to feel personal even when you scale way down. We used just part of the venue footprint and it never felt empty or awkward. What really sold us: support. Glenn & the Belknap staff helped rework the layout for a smaller group, handled setup and teardown, and made sure we had a real, well-presented meal (not the sandwich pricing drama we’d been facing elsewhere). Every interaction was kind, practical, and focused on making the day feel like us, not “Plan B.” Our guests still talk about how much they loved our wedding and great the celebration was. If you want a venue that’s both beautiful and genuinely flexible, book Belknap. 10/10

We are writing to express our most sincere, heartfelt gratitude to Jan and the entire Oscar's Management Team for the absolutely flawless execution of our daughter Allisyn’s wedding to her groom, Wesley, this past Saturday, June 13th. Jan, you were an absolute superstar. From the early stages of end-to-end planning to the final moments of the reception, your coordination was nothing short of exceptional. You worked tirelessly behind the scenes, and your dedication did not go unnoticed—so many of our guests commented on how hard you were working to ensure every detail was perfect. You kept the energy up, the timeline on track, and the stress entirely off our shoulders. Because of you, Allisyn truly felt like a princess all day. We also want to extend our highest praise to the phenomenal staff working behind the scenes: The Food & Kitchen Staff: The meal was spectacular, and the execution was top-tier. The Bar & Service Staff: Seamless stocking, quick service, and incredibly friendly interactions with our guests. The Cleaning & Setup Crew: The venue was pristine both before our arrival and during the post-event transition. A Wonderful, Attentive Touch: One detail we deeply appreciated was how the venue looked out for the newlyweds. The staff specifically waited on the bride and groom, taking their food and drink orders directly so they could maximize their time interacting with their guests. It was an incredibly thoughtful touch that did not go unnoticed. To top off an already magical day, having Jungle Jim himself greet Allisyn and Wesley while they were taking pictures in the Wine Cellar was an unforgettable highlight. How can you possibly beat that? Oscar's is a phenomenal venue, but it is the people who make it unforgettable. Everything from top to bottom was handled with the utmost professionalism, and our family and friends cannot stop talking about how wonderful the evening was. We will not hesitate for a single second to enthusiastically recommend Oscar's to anyone looking to host a premier event. Thank you for making our daughter's wedding a memory we will cherish forever!

Hilton Lexington Downtown was a beautiful wedding venue! We had our first look on the stairs, and it was absolutely perfect. The atrium provided so much beautiful natural light, which made our photos even more amazing. The ballroom, where we held both our ceremony and reception, was beautiful and well-lit, and we loved that the lighting could be adjusted to fit the atmosphere we wanted. Working with Tracy and Haleigh was definitely one of the best parts of our experience! They were incredibly patient with all of my questions and made the entire process feel so much easier. And, of course, everyone agreed that the food was delicious! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our special day.

I recently had the pleasure of working at a wedding held at Harper Hall in downtown Lexington, and I have to say, this venue is an absolute gem! From start to finish, the experience was top-notch. What truly sets Harper Hall apart, though, is the staff. Every member of the team was professional, attentive, and incredibly helpful. They went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, and it was clear they were committed to making the day special for everyone involved. The level of coordination and attention to detail was impressive—from setting up the space to managing timelines and making sure every need was met. As someone who works at events often, it’s not every day I come across a venue that combines such a beautiful setting with a team that genuinely cares about the success of the event. If you're considering a place for your wedding or any other special occasion, I can't recommend Harper Hall enough. It’s a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a memorable experience in a prime downtown location!
